      Pull workqueue fixes from Tejun Heo:
       "So, safe fixes my ass.
      
        Commit 8852aac2 ("workqueue: mod_delayed_work_on() shouldn't queue
        timer on 0 delay") had the side-effect of performing delayed_work
        sanity checks even when @delay is 0, which should be fine for any sane
        use cases.
      
        Unfortunately, megaraid was being overly ingenious.  It seemingly
        wanted to use cancel_delayed_work_sync() before cancel_work_sync() was
        introduced, but didn't want to waste the space for full delayed_work
        as it was only going to use 0 @delay.  So, it only allocated space for
        struct work_struct and then cast it to struct delayed_work and passed
        it into delayed_work functions - truly awesome engineering tradeoff to
        save some bytes.
      
        Xiaotian fixed it by making megraid allocate full delayed_work for
        now.  It should be converted to use work_struct and cancel_work_sync()
        but I think we better do that after 3.7.
      
        I added another commit to change BUG_ON()s in __queue_delayed_work()
        to WARN_ON_ONCE()s so that the kernel doesn't crash even if there are
        more such abuses."

      Pull sparc fixes from David Miller:
       "Two small fixes for Sparc, nobody uses sparc, so these are low risk :-)
      
         1) Piggyback is too picky about the symbol types that _start and _end
            have in the final kernel image, and it thus breaks with newer
            binutils.  Future proof by getting rid of the symbol type checks.
      
         2) exit_group() should kill register windows on sparc64 the same way
            we do for plain exit().  Thanks to Al Viro for spotting this."

      vfs: avoid "attempt to access beyond end of device" warnings · 57302e0d
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      The block device access simplification that avoided accessing the (racy)
      block size information (commit bbec0270: "blkdev_max_block: make
      private to fs/buffer.c") no longer checks the maximum block size in the
      block mapping path.
      
      That was _almost_ as simple as just removing the code entirely, because
      the readers and writers all check the size of the device anyway, so
      under normal circumstances it "just worked".
      
      However, the block size may be such that the end of the device may
      straddle one single buffer_head.  At which point we may still want to
      access the end of the device, but the buffer we use to access it
      partially extends past the end.
      
      The 'bd_set_size()' function intentionally sets the block size to avoid
      this, but mounting the device - or setting the block size by hand to
      some other value - can modify that block size.
      
      So instead, teach 'submit_bh()' about the special case of the buffer
      head straddling the end of the device, and turning such an access into a
      smaller IO access, avoiding the problem.
      
      This, btw, also means that unlike before, we can now access the whole
      device regardless of device block size setting.  So now, even if the
      device size is only 512-byte aligned, we can read and write even the
      last sector even when having a much bigger block size for accessing the
      rest of the device.
      
      So with this, we could now get rid of the 'bd_set_size()' block size
      code entirely - resulting in faster IO for the common case - but that
      would be a separate patch.
